I finished the session over at Bridgnorth, down by the river where a pair of Tawny Owls have raised a couple of chicks again. Very high up so excuse the odd angle of view! Thanks to Yvonne for reporting these again. We had great fun watching the reactions of local folk - either interested or totally not, some refused to look up thinking it was a wind up!
I know just how he feels!
Catching up as well, a Barn Owl in flight over the top field at Venus Pool during the week.
And showing not quite so well but kinda cute - a distant pair of Little Owls at a private site.
On 13th April 2012, it was a Lesser Pecker encounter 'somewhere' in Cheshire...
Not an every day sight and a welcome one for me following a trip to Cheshire. This smart male Lesser Spotted Woodpecker was certainly worth the effort! Hard work though, it took me over five hours on site to come away with these.....
A Shropshire bird would be even nicer!
